JAXA JAXA recently installed a robot on the International Space Station, and its main role is to save astronauts.
The name of the robot is int-ball and is a spherical robot with a camera. It can be controlled by the team on the earth, can be flying in the space station (it should not fly in the space station ...), move with a series of propellers, and then record what happened in the space station.
INT-BALL is made entirely of 3D printing, which is used is existing drone technology. It seems like a beautiful blue eye floating. JAXA said that the robot can move from autonomous flight anytime, anywhere, and can record images from any angle. It weighs 1kg, 15cm in diameter, 12 propellers.
INT-BALL is on June 3 this year, which is sent to space in the SpaceX Falcon 9, now in the Japanese experiment cabin of the space station.
JAXA estimates that astronauts have to take about 10% of the time to shoot them and send images back to the earth. After Int-Ball, astronauts have more time to conduct experiments and space stations.
Int-Ball is not the first robot passenger station in the space station, but it is better to say that it is a railway.
As early as 2006, NASA NASA sent three freely flying small robots to the International Space Station. These robots named Spheres have taken up to 600 hours of experiments in space, which has carried out rich experiments including independent form flight, space station navigation, and map drawing, and even running the middle school students prepared in the team competition.
American astronaut Scott Kelly is working with Spheres on the International Space Station.
Spheres needs to always be under astronaut supervision control (because they are more flammable and other reasons), and depending on the disposable alkaline battery pack, power is powered by the carbon dioxide propulsion.
Later, Spheres had successful Astrobee, the latter is a new platform, which can operate completely and safely in the international space station, and the biggest improvement is the propulsion system. Moreover, it fully uses the electric propulsion system, which can be charged by the dock.
Astrobee is also free, it can perform autonomous navigation in the US cabin, EU Cabin and Japanese cabin of the International Space Station.
Spotty
In addition, in October last year, the French Network also reported that Russian Federal Space Bases Roscosmos should be combined with social media VKONTAKTE (Russia's Facebook), in March this year, give a small, exquisite space robot Spotty to the International Space Station .
Spotty is also a sphere, which has a projection device, and Vkontakte users can understand everything that happened in the International Space Station at any time, anytime, anywhere. In addition, VKontakte users can also receive pictures and videos from the International Space Station and talk to astronauts.
At that time, Spotty would share a space cabin with Russian astronaut Fyodor Yurchikhin, and send pictures and videos related to space life from the outer space, build the platform of the earth users and astronauts. But the pavilion network reviews the news found that there is currently no Spotty has already boarded the news of space.
